In the glass Kadette Cape Blend is a vibrant crimson hue, with complementary aromas of raspberries, black cherries, plums, cinnamon and cloves.
Soft, elegant tannins and fresh acidity are beautifully balanced with a vibrant burst of fruit on the palate. Juicy flavors of red and black fruits and a hint of chocolate dominate the lingering finish.
Table pairings: Excellent as a summer wine to accompany a good barbeque, or served with pizza, pasta dishes, roasts and chicken and burgers.
Alcohol content: 14%.

The effects of the drought of the previous 3 years were still felt in 2019, despite more abundant rainfall: in 2019 the grapes were smaller in size, the harvest was smaller but of great quality.
Grape varieties from 5 to 30 years old. Modest additional irrigation. Average production 7 tons/ha.

After harvesting in the early morning hours, the must is placed to macerate on the skins for 3-5 days in open concrete tanks at a temperature of about 28°. Then Kadette Cape Blend ferments for 12-14 months in 225-liter second- and third-use Nevers French oak barrels. Further bottle aging follows before release.
